    This is kinda a natural result of authoritarian structures going back millennia. It’s a big king of the hill game, because nobody up top is really in it for the movement, they’re in it for themselves.

    I would point to the old monarchies of Europe as an excellent example of this all playing out though, with a huge number of individual data points to work with.

    Avoiding this whole mess is one of the primary purposes of democratic forms of government.
